Formscan - After beating a subsequent Listed winner in an Irish point-to-point, KINGSTON PRIDE changed hands for 200,000 euros but had to settle for second when sent off at odds-on for a bumper at Lingfield's Winter Million fixture. That form was given a massive boost when the winner went close in a Grade 2 at Aintree last weekend, and a race such as this should be within range for Nicky Henderson's five-year-old. Musselburgh scorer Wicked Thoughts has to give him 7lb, so Kap Ouest might be a bigger threat after his third at Chepstow back in October.
